Are you out of your mind?

I heard a beautiful woman today speak of her yearning for a great intimate relationship but said she felt like a ship out to sea with no rudder. I know this feeling.

She’d done so many workshops on sexuality and webinars and courses, and to my surprise, she still felt none of them gave her what she was wanting – a deep connection with herself and connection with her husband.

I hear this often. And I felt the same years ago. And I still do sometimes when I am not in my body. Usually, it’s when I’m in my mind, have been anxious about something. I don’t feel feminine, I don’t feel alive, I don’t feel ‘on’.

At these times I thought I need to do hours of emotional processing to ‘get’ to that place again until I learnt a simple, beautiful way to return ‘home’.  As soon as I am ‘home’ inside my body, everything changes. How I move, how I speak, how I show up.

The thing is that it’s of no great benefit if we just go there one day and then that’s it. Transformation is a continual practice of ever-deepening awareness. It’s about returning ‘home’ in your body over and over. And the more you do that, the more you rest in that as a natural way of being.

And it is the same with making love. Yes, it’s possible to make love with the mind. Close your eyes and imagine a fantasy and you can make love. But if you want a meaningful ‘connection’ with your partner that nourishes you, that is deeply meaningful as well as pleasurable and sustainable, then being out of your mind is a great entry point.

So I’m saying get out of your mind more!

So this week's practice is, no matter what you are doing, to ask yourself over and over - “Am I out of my mind?’ And when you are, celebrate!! And if you are not, take a breath, close your eyes, go in and connect with your body, your heart, your dantian, your womb space, whatever feels good. Even mental tasks flow more when you are more in your body.

And experiment with speaking from there, walking from there, and moving from there. And try it first before moving into making love. Connect to the home inside first before you connect with the other. You will feel more present, more potent, and more expanded.

We can learn all we want about tantra and sexuality and make the body do amazing things, but in the long run, it’s the deep intimate connection firstly with ourselves and then with the other, that fulfils our deep natural human yearning for union.
